Belgian bank Fortis currently working on Windows Phone app

Numerous banks around the world have joined the Windows Phone platform and launched apps for customers to utilise while on the move. We can almost add another bank to the list, BNP Paribas Fortis. The Belgian bank has informed a customer that a Windows Phone app is currently in development and will be released later this year.

When can we expect to see this app be made available? The bank has stated the ETA is this coming fall, so be sure to stay tuned for more information.

Ive been downloading key apps, especially for banks even though im not a customer to show support that there is a demand. Often they are just wrappers to the websites. If banks start advertising win phone apps as a version it will increase awareness. I think the reason win phone is slow to get traction is Joe public only ever sees "for ios" and "for android" and so there is no migration.
